Annotated Quotations from Chairman Mao
"This textbook will be welcomed by many students and teachers of Chinese. . . . The book includes a full vocabulary (supplementing the Index volume to DeFrancis' previous textbooks) which is given both in order of appearance of the individual expressions and in alphabetical order. But its main feature is the parallel text: alongside each quotation in Chinese characters is printed the same text in pinyinthe official Chinese romanisation system. As the editor points out, this constitutes one of the most extensive pinyin texts in existence."China Now "The text itself bears no annotation references, so that it may be read without distraction. At the back appear vocabulary listings for items new to DeFrancis readers organized under the quotation numbers in which they appear. Grammatical and other notes are given in a separate list, again organized in quotation-number order. Variant character forms make a third list, arranged as a stroke number index, and finally there is an alphabetically arranged pinyin index of all new items. With such meticulously arranged guidance the reader of any level of ability can work his way through the quotations."The China Quarterly "This is a welcome and timely contribution to the profession. . . . Nowhere, to my knowledge, exists another pinyin text of the Quotations booklet, not to say one with both the character and pinyin texts conveniently arranged together in the same volume. . . . Highly recommendable for adoption as a fine text."Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association
